LAKE PLACID — Max Menkel’s offensive rebound in the final minute of play gave the Blue Bombers a three-point play, turning the game around and giving the host team a victory over the Beavers Jan. 14.

Menkel recorded the rebound on a Stuart Baird free throw with the team trailing 45-44. Menkel connected on the put-back attempt and was fouled on the play, converting from the foul line for a 47-45 lead.

“This was another good battle between us and went down to the wire,” Bombers coach Matthew Walentuk said.
